Raxx is the most thorough streamer TESTING (not playing, per se) the PTR. Everyone else I've watched is farming mythics, power leveling, getting frustrated stuff doesn't work and then going back to season 4, etc. Make this man a partner and/or give him a raise, Blizzard!
Why would blizzard do this? He is providing free labor. It doesn't get better than that for a business. When a corporation has an idea ( and by corporation, i mean an employee, but the CEO takes the credit) and another entity takes their idea. the company will sue to protect their "intellectual property" and recoup their profits. When someone like Raxx is constantly improving the game, but not being paid for their ideas, it is called "just another day in our beautifully fair economic system".
Just make tempering like Last Epoch, You choose the affix but limit the rolls it's still a min/max loot hunt and people don't just completely just salvage a useful item.
Or just go back to Diablo 3 and get unlimited chances but, it the costs keep going up. Just don't rig the RNG like you do now. It is so easy to see it. Three bad roles then a good role, three bad roles then a good role.
Right? It really makes me mad that he called himself a loser while talking to the Blizzard people - not once, but *twice!* Raxx should realize not only that he's a hero, but also that by disrespecting himself he also disrespects the many people who follow and love him. Never do that again man, this still hurts and I still don't understand why you did it. Did Piepiora or someone else from the company somehow force you to do that? Their reaction to it was also pretty bad, the normal thing to do would have been to say that "no, you're absolutely not", but they said nothing, those *****.
As somebody who has previously worked in games (QA and Design), this type of feedback is very valuable. It is also presented in a way that is easy to follow and understand. Keep up the great work.
It's never really been about the way of giving the feedback or even the feedback itself. The problematic part has always been getting the other side to HEAR the feedback. Sure, they said a million times they're hearing it, but they barely ever act on it. There just seem to be some visions or whatever you wanna call them that they won't budge on, and some of them are really bad visions/philiosophies.
Add a boon where a barbarian spawns at the sidelines to cheer on you and to apply Rallying Cry regularly. The choices don't have to be broken, just be fun.
Its amazing that off the top of Rax's head he can think of 10 things that make the game instantly better....and the 500 people that work on the game can't think of anything.
its not so easy - they have 3 month developement time.. With concepting, testing, commiting builds and stuff that boils down to maybe a month of actual programming - sometimes you have to do the "most bang for your buck" approach. like yes turning into a playable version of lillith for a wave would be super cool, but it would take way too much time for example. Its not always about the vision but also managing the project sadly. Im very sure the gamedesigners have the wildest ideas for the game but 3 month is nothing in gamedevelopement and if you can create new gameplay by more or less recycling other code or use functions you already have thats usually the way to go if you are on a time limit. There is actually something they could learn from POE though now that they can start to plan ahead more instead of reacting to issues in the game. GGG uses 4 Teams for their seasons but they start at the same time. So season 4 has a full year of development and season 1 only 3 month - once one team is finished the people jump to the next on in line - ending with seasons that increase in size. And for the later seasons stuff like Raxx mentioned could more easily be introduced
@@dennisvogel5982 You're right, it's not easy. It's like they've never made a ARPG before, taking out basic things from D3, never looked at POE or LE for inspiration.
i know people have already said this, but I super appreciate that you actually Test the PTR and not just play the PTR. I remember watching you do the S4 PTR where you took the time to go through and talk about every single UI choice with the new tempering/masterworking system and people complaining to you about not going out and playing the game. The fact that you take the time to evaluate every single small detail is so instrumental to any programmer/game dev/etc, and I commend you greatly for it. If i ever make any sort of interactive system, I know I would want you to test it
This just reminds me of the video from the ex Blizz game developer that talks about how Blizz has chased out or sacked all the passionate and talented people and how all that remains is juniors and commercial personnel without vision
THANK YOU for talking about the obscene rerolling cost. On the D4 subreddit, they act like rerolling is a luxury and its your fault for going bankrupt trying to get something necessary for your build. I get that its gambling but the gamble should be more for trying to get the highest possible roll and not losing billions of gold, your mortgage, and your kid's college fund just to get the right affix. Also, I noticed that some affixes are just impossible to get compared to others. Primary resource and Max Life are abundant but I remember trying to get + blight on my gloves and just bricking several pairs. The system has to be rigged to some degree to make certain affixes have a higher chance of being picked and some have like less than 0% chance of being picked. I will die on that hill.
Yup happened to me too. Blew like 500m and all angel breaths to get all resist boots. They say when you check the item on enchant the lower the stats on the list the harder it is to get, all resist is like in the middle and yet im getting more those below it than that. Confused and frustrated.
Yeah rolling is to the point where you are waiting for an item to drop with ranks to a core skill or passive or CDR already on it so you're trying to roll something on it like attack speed or crit chance which are less weighted. I think they need to rework the weight of certain rolls or the gold cap needs to be set at like 500k. Even if it took me 50 rolls to get plus 3 to my skill it'd still only be like 25m which you can make easily back running whispers for a half hour or just selling your loot in-between runs. At the current rate, 50 rolls would be well over 100m.
which, conviniently, is the only thing people really want. We should be able to have 4 options and just have a way less of an RNG roll and price. Diablo 3 rerolling was pretty good, how are we completely ignoring it
@@nekissx8123 I was kind of accounting for the ramp up and not starting at 4m per roll but you're right. Still would be in the 150-200m range which is unacceptable. The amount of time it takes for one to acquire that who doesn't use 3rd party sites to sell is way too long. You could spam Whisper dungeons for 3 hours which give you jack shit in return and eventually would have to stop because you would run out and wait for them to spawn and still only make maybe 50m.
Things I'd like to see in the game: 1. The ability to turn any dungeon into a nightmare dungeon in the field. Why? I see a whisper dungeon, and instead of absolutely demolishing it with little/no challenge, it would be nice if I could choose to make it Nightmare, and work on some glyphs, too. There could be a little shrine outside the dungeon, and it would cost the player sigil powder. The higher the Nightmare, the more sigil powder it would cost. Could even let the player choose what kind of boost they’d like (Extra shrines, glyph XP, etc.) for even MORE sigil powder. Right now, we have way too much powder, and it isn’t even worth the time breaking down sigils I won’t be using. 2. More mini-bosses like the butcher spread out through the world and dungeons. 3. Have the ability to upgrade yellows to legendary (like D3). Maybe this could cost Scattered Prisms, and have at least 1 Greater Affix, to make it worthwhile compared to just farming Helltides?
Agreed to the first two points, you can already do 3 at the occultist. However it would at least be nice(regarding point 1) if you had a sigil, if they could put an icon somewhere in the tooltip that shows if it corresponds to an active whisper dungeon. Or maybe ensure that the NMD rotation and the whisper dungeon pool are the same so that you have a higher chance, making it more lucrative to do them so you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone so to speak.
The thing that makes a game like Hades 2 so amazing is the fact that no two runs are ever the same, take that same philosophy, apply it to this new game mode, success. Make every decision impactful, should I pick red or blue, sometimes it will pay off and you become ridiculously over powered, but most times you have to put some work in to get the job done. Either way, it's rewarding.
@@ChauLe-dx3fq Are D4 seasons not 3 months? And don't they have 2 different teams working in parallel, or people working on the core of the next season before they're finished with one, or even just an idea of the next season? My point being, its not like, every 3 months the entire team sits down and brainstorms for ideas, develop prototypes and so on, and then 1 month in they agree and start working, they have this stuff worked out before hand.. Or maybe they don't, and thats why the seasons are so lackluster. I don't understand how 10 people developed leagues for POE for almost a year on a 3 months schedule, but D4 with a 500 person team can't add interesting modifiers to a wave clear gamemode.
Raxx is a natural game designer. It's easy to know what I don't like about a game...much harder to understand what would fix it. Season 4 was such a big improvement and many of the changes have been things you've suggested (as was also true in previous seasons). You are actively saving Diablo and I salute you with this comment.
Great feedback Raxx. However for me the game has 2 major problems that need addressed !. Armoury - sorely needed. different activities need different setups why isnt this priority #1 2. Tempering/masterworking needs a reset otherwise you are stuck in a build as switching feels really bad. tempering compounds #1 and pigeonholes you into a build even more why arent streamers mentioning this? unless you have unlimited time you are not going to refarm gear to try a different build. infact its probably easier to start a fresh character this is how i see the loop for most people: level character to 100, upgrade gear play alittle then quit. Season 4 had good retention i suggest it was largely due to respendant spark farming, i know i did a bunch these are fundamental and need looked at immediately. i would rather forgo some gimmicky season mechanic and address these. much as season 4 loot reborn did
i played a few infernal hordes and im sure you get more currency to spend in the higher tiers but it felt REALLY bad to me. Felt slow and very unrewarding.
Yeah and especially since something like helltide showers you with loot anyways and the new event gives you like 2-4 items for 10 minutes? Blood maiden alone drops like 8 legos when you use 1 heart.
I'm grateful for this testing and based feedback. Rax, you do a lot to make the game better, and your opinions represent the majority quite well. Big thanks.
Spawn the butcher to fight for you then the longer he lives he gets stronger and then turns on you in the end if you beat him he jumps in randomly for your remaining waves like Uber bosses do in pit boss fights imagine the badass dialogue they could add as the butcher fights with you
I never post just a lame consumer. This absolutely deservers a 'Damn Raxx you are AWESOME and thanks so much for all you do for us.' Loved your buffs and banes. Really hope they implement some of your ideas
Chain Lightning sorc needs x100 dmg atm. Took me 5m to kill a pit 61 boss. I was doing 200-500k dmg per crit (not hit) with shako, esus, 2h staff with tempered, masterworked (not fully) and a lot of GA gear.
Thanks for mentioning the Tempered system and the work it still needs. I hope enough creators actually push for this. Great line up of Pros/Cons tbh mate.
Please blizzard, let us zoom out to the distance the camera zooms out too while we’re on our mounts! I understand they added a “far” camera distance, but in combat the screen is still soooooo cluttered
Would love it if you would consider adding to the feedback you give: the ability to compare an upgraded item and one you just picked up would be a great 'nice to have'
thank you rax. you are the goat d4 content creator. nobody goes into extreme detail the way you do, you engage with the game with a perspective other's simply do not possess. thanks again!
The event feels like it was designed by bean counters. "What do you mean they don't like it? But we give them 10% more spawns in column 16, if you add the +2 to drops from column 73 that makes the rewards 12.37% better and the standard deviation on final reward will be 3.4 standard deviations" ....snooooore
Excelente points Raxx! I've been annoyed with rerolling affixes since D3 and I personally believe x2 small changes can go a long way. 1 - You can't reroll the same result or inferior than your current result (if you are rerolling Strength you can't get another STR result other than an improvement). 2- If your selected stat is maxed out, it can never appear again, just other results. (If you have 50 Crit Damage *max* selecting it as a reroll will show new results but not offer anything crit damage related and you can keep using it in order to get something new). Obviously there are other ways, but this would help filter useless results and then we can tackle the rarer affixes weight/roll chance.
Itemization is still boring - moar dmg doesn't cut it. The talent twig needs a lot of work. Paragon board is the worst aspect of a bad UI and again - main stat for moar dmg. Maybe the expansion will address these things.
OH please no lol. D3 had follower/companion dialogue. It's super repetitive, annoying, and no where in the options can you enable/disable it. Fun to think about though if they do, we should be able to switch it off when we want.
"Class balance seems off" - this is quite an understatement. Teleport nerfed, focus nerfed, flame shield nerfed, ice armor nerfed, Debilitatin Roar nerfed, Shadowblight nerfed, Victimize nerfed, etc Meanwhile, Barb holding one button to auto-attack with Bash... Yeah, this game is perfectly (un)balanced. They will nerf everything to the ground outside the Gushing Wounds of course. And Barb will get 50% Polearms buff and new Aspect to pull in and do another 10%[x] dmg.
great feedback raxxanterax as always from you. your founded arguments should blast blizzard away, like the butcher does me in low levels. thanks for your great support for all players. all should know, that you are really one of the most important persons for us, cause you can effectively change the opionion of the Diablo 4 Team , make them to do a lot of improvements to the game.
Super buggy PTR , classes feel nerfed because enemies are bugged to take next to no damage sometimes. The new endgame hoard mode is just not it. Also if 50 total aspects/ uniques combined is all we are getting I feel we are truly going “back to hell” for season 5
That's more than we get normally. Also, it's a PTR for a reason.. And this isn't the seasonal mechanic. Simply another activity. Wait another month for them to announce more details about the next season. People are so quick to hate.
@@davidzimmerman617 that is more than we normally get for sure but it’s not enough imo. Would appreciate it if it wasn’t so buggy so that we could give accurate feedback on the PTR, the pit bosses are bugged to take no damage and then sometimes be one shot. Not to mention The 250 chest at the end of new Endgame Mode only drops 3 GA items and a scroll. They need to increase the mob density and amount of loot you get to make those 10 minutes feel interesting and worth it to grind the mode. I want to give positive feedback but this PTR season 5 preview seems to be a lot less exciting than season 4 so far. Fingers crossed that the devs get the right feedback and add additional content to season 5.
It’s a PTR, months before release. Were you expecting it to be perfect and ready for release? You’re supposed to be testing and giving feedback because they know it’s not done yet.
@@JB-qk5mn the PTR IS meant for testing haha. That’s exactly why they will be patching all the bugs today in order to get more accurate feedback. The one that is especially important is the damage not registering or completely one shorting everything. Not asking for perfect just asking for more effort and a better prepared PTR state for testing.
@@Jdiroe Why are you complaining about bugs in a PTR? That’s literally the entire purpose of letting players go in. Some things are going to be broken, it’s months from release. Just play s4 if you want to blast and farm loot.
I did some very sparse testing and it took me almost 100 rolls to get a +Skills on Amulet. It took another 100 rolls to get +Skills on Pants+Gloves. This isnt even considering if its the skill or passive you want either. The odds are terrible it seems 😭
That’s why you spend the capital on a piece with the roll. What you spend rerollinf affixes you could’ve probably afforded a piece that had the roll already. I got a dark shroud GA chest for 350m
This is a great analysis. I hope Blizzard listens to all this feedback and implements it over the next month. Thank you for testing and making things better for everyone.
It's honestly true. Druids are rough right now. I've tried the newly "buffed" landslide druid but it is actually still only a fraction of what it was with shepherd. They need to multiply druid damage by 50-100x to even keep them in the same league as barbarian.
The game needs an armory system, I am ok with expensive re-rolls.. I just hate having to re-roll even if its free as its very clunky. Having an armory to allow each player at least 3 pre-set specs is ideal IMO.
Great video raxx. I think what would help sorc is allowing us to have one more enchantment slots and allowing us to have three weapons. Two wands and a focus, a staff a wand and a focus. It's kind of obvious why Barb and Rogue are so good, and it's partly because Rogue has three weapon slots, and Barb has four. I also think Axial Conduit should just be a legendary aspect just like how gravitational is for BL, there needs to be more regular aspects that change skills in a fun way like gravitational that shouldn't be tied to uniques like Axial.
I love watching your videos on how you articulate the good and bad of whatever subject matter you're discussing. You do an excellent job of being objective and providing actual solutions that would be a massive W for both the playerbase and blizzard. Keep up the good work
I've been a D4 supporter since before launch. I've always defended it against the "D4 bad" stuff, but I haven't even played the PTR and I'm pretty disappointed with season 5. This new infernal whatever seems mind-numbingly boring. I don't even want to try it out once, so season 5 will be almost identical to season 4.
I was the same as you in the beginning. But the truth is Blizzard actively scares people with talent and ideas away and replaces them with undergrads fresh out of university just so they can slash their salary in half. It is exploitation of their workers and their IP and if there was no resounding wave of "wow this game is baaaaad" Blizzard would think "wow what a succesfull strategy, lets replace all our creative execs for even bigger profit margins". Companies that dont respect their customers, their workers or even their IPs dont deserve to be defended blindly, because it only leads to more capitalist bullshit
I agree about rerolling costs. I tried rerolling two pieces of gear and I was down 40m gold before I even realized. Getting to 100, I only made 140m so you might imagine I was confused. I propose rerolling be capped at 1m gold.
Blew almost 500m and all my angel breaths on boots to get all resist. Never got it not even the lowest roll. Its a good boots and i just wanted to cap my resistance.
Funny how in theory you can run around with 1 Normal Elixir+ 1 Antivenin + 3 Types of Incense, but do that and youlll burn through 10k Angelbreath in one day. (not that anyone has that much lol)
Play the game more, trade less, only people with hundreas-billions of gold has this problem, sitting at 13K angelbreaths with minimum 8 masterwork on all gear.
I like that they have changed the anvil symbol on my gears tempered affixes, to small symbols corespondent to what group och tempering they are from. thumbs up for that little change, making it easier to remember where the tempered stat is coming from
@@JB-qk5mn as my comment clearly states the issue is with the franchise over 20 years.... what makes you think that my comment has anything to do with when season 5 comes out. It's a comment to state they do not know how to make enjoyable repayable challenging end game content given any amount of time.
@@vzwson4995 what’s your point? It’s still a PTR released unfinished in order to collect feedback. If you want everything to be running normally just play S4. The PTR literally exists as an early build to test on.
@@JB-qk5mn Sure the next beta will have fixed the issues... Guys relax its a month before release they'll fix it... Season 1 will fix the issues guys, come on just wait and see... Surely season 2 will fix the issues right? Omg guys did you hear, leaderboards are coming, and resists are finally gonna work!! Ohh wait nevermind, leaderboards delayed until the season is already dead, oops... Saying something feels painfully boring and slow, or saying they don't know what endgame is, is feedback.. If its slow and boring, and doesn't feel like endgame content, maybe they need to spice it up, make it faster, make it more interesting, make it different than opening a cursed chest.
Very well said and productively explained. THIS CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED: Inserting a Rogue-like element more akin to current games (e.g. Hades, DRG, Vampire Survival etc...) would exponentially increase the replay allure. This would all of a sudden become the MAIN reason to play D IV, and would also create endless content for Blizzard to add new buffs/debuffs. i honestly and sincerely hope that they initiate this as it would be something that would keep D IV alive similar to how DII is still beloved to this day.
I woke up, played the Infernal Horde, felt like just copying from D3 or PoE monster waves, and went back to sleep. Then remember this is an ODD season, welp, that explained it. See you guys on S6 maybe.
@@Orion3T Maybe they don't, but if they only have really resources to add something important every other 6 months, they should just tell us, 1 season with important changes/1 season with minor additions. Season 6 will be important because we get the expansion also, let's hope the theme will have some important things also.
The thing no one has said, which I think would be a great small addition to the game, is to add in vendors and stashes outside the dungeon. Just being able to leave dungeon sell and stash then reset the dungeon and back in is a small addition but great one imo
Longer/harder World Boss fights make no sense without a corresponding increase in better loot. Same with the 8 minute Infernal Hoards. Everyone just gravitates to wherever the biggest bang for the buck is.
If they're not fixing tempering (they're not) then I don't want to play. Tempering is the endgame. Tempering/GAs is the chase. I could play the entire season and see only ONE relevant multi-GA item, and there's an extremely high chance it will brick. Tempering reset or no season 5.
They wouldn't even need to touch tempering if they included an option for players to trade effectively. The items you need drop, just not for you. So all they need is either give us a little bit more control over the affixes in tempering, or let us trade in a crafted environment for it
Firstly it's just the PTR not the season, they have loads of time to change things and can probably address 95% of their feedback in at least some way, which as with S4 can add up to a massive improvement. Second they did say there will be actual seasonal content on top of what's in the PTR.
Raxx, I really hope Blizzard takes in your advice because players like you truly make games like D4 amazing. The ideas you presented in this video was top tier in terms of fun and excitement, ans that's exactly what the next few Seasons need! Great suggestions bro!🙏🏾
Raxx you are the only one from the streamers that you put so much work to do better the game.Keep up the good work and pls Raxx we need loadouts,loot filter,lfg system ,action house .And many more quality improvements .😊😊
I mean you are undefeated man I've never seen a streamer so for everybody when it comes to changes and ideas you literally think about every player to try to make the game better. I respect the shit out of that. Love your videos man. You are a amazing content creator.
You know what would be cool: some kind of infinity challenge, where you get ported into an arena with infinite waves to kill with rnd monster types on each wave and every 5th wave gives you rnd elites and every 10th wave is a pit boss/ uber boss + the difficulty ramps up consistently as you go up. Ofc with leaderboard to push for the highest and fastest waves possible then. Also rewards shoulds be adjusted correctly( not like in the pit, where it makes no real sense to go higher than 101, cuz the mat is not scaling consistently any more). Upvote this also, if you like the idea.
Hi Raxx, Good stuff as always. I have some point from my view (no for s5 ptr stuff, but for s4 maybe worth to bring up now) Im a "casual" player (not a dad, dont have dog to piss the floor🤣), but dont have much more time to play, on average 0-2 hour per day. Im enjoying s4 now, but my concerns is on pit: - i got way-way more material to open the pit, then i actually can do. currently i have mats for about 1700 pit run, but have no time do them - materails (master work and stygina stone) feels low how much i get (i can farm 100-110 around 3 min run/top clear 120) - 1st option, i think they should do: add an option to increase the rewards, like "spend 3x more rune to have x more material" - 2nd option: reduce the number of rune shards you get, but increase rewad overall 1st should be better in mym opiniom
Spot on feedback! Seriously, they should just let you play test everything first and pay you for it. We won’t even need a ptr. Btw, opened many mystery chests and living steel chests and didn’t find anything. Got a total of maybe 6 compass from 40+ chests (mostly small ones). And I also got one from ND after about 10 runs.
Great suggestions on the boon/bane choices, hopefully they will implement a couple of them. I definitely see the potential if they invest some time into the system.
I had a really good time with the Community in season 4. A lot were friendly, trading was good. I hope people keep communicating what they want to fix and not just oh game bad im not gonna play.
Enchanting is for sure one of the biggest issues right now. The price of it needs to be nerfed into the ground and then capped at around 1mil at the most, otherwise, it's just another way to soft-brick items if they get too far into the reroll attempts. On the infernal hordes: I really think the devs should just go play the popular roguelites and just copy the fun, crazy "powers" that you can get during runs in those games. Adapt them to fit D4 of course, but if you've never made a roguelite, go look at what works in them lol.
Raxx is the most thorough streamer TESTING (not playing, per se) the PTR. Everyone else I've watched is farming mythics, power leveling, getting frustrated stuff doesn't work and then going back to season 4, etc. Make this man a partner and/or give him a raise, Blizzard!
Yes, great idea, let's have a good neutral content creator get paid by Blizzard…

This just reminds me of the video from the ex Blizz game developer that talks about how Blizz has chased out or sacked all the passionate and talented people and how all that remains is juniors and commercial personnel without vision
Yeah, feelsbadman
THANK YOU for talking about the obscene rerolling cost. On the D4 subreddit, they act like rerolling is a luxury and its your fault for going bankrupt trying to get something necessary for your build. I get that its gambling but the gamble should be more for trying to get the highest possible roll and not losing billions of gold, your mortgage, and your kid's college fund just to get the right affix.
Also, I noticed that some affixes are just impossible to get compared to others. Primary resource and Max Life are abundant but I remember trying to get + blight on my gloves and just bricking several pairs. The system has to be rigged to some degree to make certain affixes have a higher chance of being picked and some have like less than 0% chance of being picked. I will die on that hill.
Yup happened to me too. Blew like 500m and all angel breaths to get all resist boots. They say when you check the item on enchant the lower the stats on the list the harder it is to get, all resist is like in the middle and yet im getting more those below it than that. Confused and frustrated.
I totally agree with the difficulty with rerolling to get a specific affix. Specially the ones with ranks to a skill or passive.
It's better just to pretend it doesn't exist on the rerolls and wait for a drop only.
Yeah rolling is to the point where you are waiting for an item to drop with ranks to a core skill or passive or CDR already on it so you're trying to roll something on it like attack speed or crit chance which are less weighted. I think they need to rework the weight of certain rolls or the gold cap needs to be set at like 500k. Even if it took me 50 rolls to get plus 3 to my skill it'd still only be like 25m which you can make easily back running whispers for a half hour or just selling your loot in-between runs. At the current rate, 50 rolls would be well over 100m.
@@TommyHardy5497 50 rolls would be more like 200+ million with the amulets and the likes costing 4million + per roll
which, conviniently, is the only thing people really want. We should be able to have 4 options and just have a way less of an RNG roll and price. Diablo 3 rerolling was pretty good, how are we completely ignoring it
@@nekissx8123 I was kind of accounting for the ramp up and not starting at 4m per roll but you're right. Still would be in the 150-200m range which is unacceptable. The amount of time it takes for one to acquire that who doesn't use 3rd party sites to sell is way too long. You could spam Whisper dungeons for 3 hours which give you jack shit in return and eventually would have to stop because you would run out and wait for them to spawn and still only make maybe 50m.
Really grateful for you testing and give this feedback, learned how to play watching your videos. So thankful for getting me out of the dummy zone
Things I'd like to see in the game:
1. The ability to turn any dungeon into a nightmare dungeon in the field. Why? I see a whisper dungeon, and instead of absolutely demolishing it with little/no challenge, it would be nice if I could choose to make it Nightmare, and work on some glyphs, too. There could be a little shrine outside the dungeon, and it would cost the player sigil powder. The higher the Nightmare, the more sigil powder it would cost. Could even let the player choose what kind of boost they’d like (Extra shrines, glyph XP, etc.) for even MORE sigil powder. Right now, we have way too much powder, and it isn’t even worth the time breaking down sigils I won’t be using.
2. More mini-bosses like the butcher spread out through the world and dungeons.
3. Have the ability to upgrade yellows to legendary (like D3). Maybe this could cost Scattered Prisms, and have at least 1 Greater Affix, to make it worthwhile compared to just farming Helltides?
Agreed to the first two points, you can already do 3 at the occultist. However it would at least be nice(regarding point 1) if you had a sigil, if they could put an icon somewhere in the tooltip that shows if it corresponds to an active whisper dungeon. Or maybe ensure that the NMD rotation and the whisper dungeon pool are the same so that you have a higher chance, making it more lucrative to do them so you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone so to speak.
To be able to unlock having the butcher on our side would be absolutely insanely fun
Agreed, but it would be very contradictory in an event that is in hell and we fight against the hellspawns
Uber Butcher just saying
@@Emac000 Helltide level 200 butcher would be nice.
@@gaborangeli3d sybila would enchnt demons to fight alongside you all the time in d3...they could do it again for sure
Tyrael or the lost Lilith’s husband would make sense since they are angels
The thing that makes a game like Hades 2 so amazing is the fact that no two runs are ever the same, take that same philosophy, apply it to this new game mode, success.
Make every decision impactful, should I pick red or blue, sometimes it will pay off and you become ridiculously over powered, but most times you have to put some work in to get the job done.
Either way, it's rewarding.
D4 devs don't have the time to make Hades 2 in a 2-month season. Be realistic.
@@ChauLe-dx3fq Are D4 seasons not 3 months? And don't they have 2 different teams working in parallel, or people working on the core of the next season before they're finished with one, or even just an idea of the next season? My point being, its not like, every 3 months the entire team sits down and brainstorms for ideas, develop prototypes and so on, and then 1 month in they agree and start working, they have this stuff worked out before hand.. Or maybe they don't, and thats why the seasons are so lackluster.
I don't understand how 10 people developed leagues for POE for almost a year on a 3 months schedule, but D4 with a 500 person team can't add interesting modifiers to a wave clear gamemode.
you can compare D4 and POE all you like, but compare D4 season to a full game like Hades is just absurd. That's my point.
Uh huh.... and how did last epoch achieve so much in the same amount of time?
@@ChauLe-dx3fq Thats a fair point, but that doesn't mean you can't take inspiration from it.
Raxx is a natural game designer. It's easy to know what I don't like about a game...much harder to understand what would fix it. Season 4 was such a big improvement and many of the changes have been things you've suggested (as was also true in previous seasons). You are actively saving Diablo and I salute you with this comment.
13:34 *_He said the thing!!_*
Legit. I was the seventeenth up vote. True story.
Hilarious
Bunch of virgins
Raxx we are truly blessed to have you do what you do. Thank you thank you thank you
I started it yesterday, decided to level up from scratch, I bricked 5 staffs 1 after the other trying to get incinerate size - so maddening
Great feedback Raxx. However for me the game has 2 major problems that need addressed
!. Armoury - sorely needed. different activities need different setups why isnt this priority #1
2. Tempering/masterworking needs a reset otherwise you are stuck in a build as switching feels really bad.
tempering compounds #1 and pigeonholes you into a build even more why arent streamers mentioning this?
unless you have unlimited time you are not going to refarm gear to try a different build. infact its probably easier to start a fresh character
this is how i see the loop for most people: level character to 100, upgrade gear play alittle then quit.
Season 4 had good retention i suggest it was largely due to respendant spark farming, i know i did a bunch
these are fundamental and need looked at immediately. i would rather forgo some gimmicky season mechanic and address these. much as season 4 loot reborn did
i played a few infernal hordes and im sure you get more currency to spend in the higher tiers but it felt REALLY bad to me. Felt slow and very unrewarding.
Rob beat tier 8 and got Two 1GA items and one unique from the 250 chest. From the gold chest he got about 400-500k gold. 😂
Yeah and especially since something like helltide showers you with loot anyways and the new event gives you like 2-4 items for 10 minutes? Blood maiden alone drops like 8 legos when you use 1 heart.
I'm grateful for this testing and based feedback. Rax, you do a lot to make the game better, and your opinions represent the majority quite well. Big thanks.
Thank You Rax for playing the alpha of D4. Your sacrifice is not forgotten.
The great thing about Raxx' feedback is that he actually comes up with ideas/suggestions for improvement. It's not just a rant.
Spawn the butcher to fight for you then the longer he lives he gets stronger and then turns on you in the end if you beat him he jumps in randomly for your remaining waves like Uber bosses do in pit boss fights imagine the badass dialogue they could add as the butcher fights with you
Now that's freaking cool idea, F-ing love it.
I never post just a lame consumer. This absolutely deservers a 'Damn Raxx you are AWESOME and thanks so much for all you do for us.' Loved your buffs and banes. Really hope they implement some of your ideas
Blood necro is behind too. We don't have diversity of builds because with each new seasonal patch, old builds are nerfed to the ground.
like ball lightning sorc, infinity mist necro, bone spear, auto attack wolf druid etc.
Your points about the seasonal activity is spot on.
The immortal palace glitch is interesting too, if he doesn’t spawn then teleport to a new spawn then back
Thank you for the summary. You are a blessing for the Diablo community.
Chain Lightning sorc needs x100 dmg atm. Took me 5m to kill a pit 61 boss.
I was doing 200-500k dmg per crit (not hit) with shako, esus, 2h staff with tempered, masterworked (not fully) and a lot of GA gear.
Thanks for mentioning the Tempered system and the work it still needs. I hope enough creators actually push for this. Great line up of Pros/Cons tbh mate.
When you started scrolling to preview the bad I went oh boy 😮
Please blizzard, let us zoom out to the distance the camera zooms out too while we’re on our mounts! I understand they added a “far” camera distance, but in combat the screen is still soooooo cluttered
It will take them another year to figure out how to give us more zoom
Would love it if you would consider adding to the feedback you give: the ability to compare an upgraded item and one you just picked up would be a great 'nice to have'
So the world bosses are very time consuming now. Does they drop better?
no
thank you rax. you are the goat d4 content creator. nobody goes into extreme detail the way you do, you engage with the game with a perspective other's simply do not possess. thanks again!
The event feels like it was designed by bean counters.
"What do you mean they don't like it? But we give them 10% more spawns in column 16, if you add the +2 to drops from column 73 that makes the rewards 12.37% better and the standard deviation on final reward will be 3.4 standard deviations"
....snooooore
Excelente points Raxx!
I've been annoyed with rerolling affixes since D3 and I personally believe x2 small changes can go a long way.
1 - You can't reroll the same result or inferior than your current result (if you are rerolling Strength you can't get another STR result other than an improvement).
2- If your selected stat is maxed out, it can never appear again, just other results. (If you have 50 Crit Damage *max* selecting it as a reroll will show new results but not offer anything crit damage related and you can keep using it in order to get something new).
Obviously there are other ways, but this would help filter useless results and then we can tackle the rarer affixes weight/roll chance.
Itemization is still boring - moar dmg doesn't cut it. The talent twig needs a lot of work. Paragon board is the worst aspect of a bad UI and again - main stat for moar dmg. Maybe the expansion will address these things.
the sound effect for rare drops is so nice for when your going fast and dont see it, its a amazing thing in poe and im glad its came to diablo!
give the minions personality, simple voice lines even that become iconic over time
OH please no lol. D3 had follower/companion dialogue. It's super repetitive, annoying, and no where in the options can you enable/disable it. Fun to think about though if they do, we should be able to switch it off when we want.
Love your analysis, you really dont skip any details and really care about the state of the game, keep doing gods work rax
"Class balance seems off" - this is quite an understatement.
Teleport nerfed, focus nerfed, flame shield nerfed, ice armor nerfed, Debilitatin Roar nerfed, Shadowblight nerfed, Victimize nerfed, etc
Meanwhile, Barb holding one button to auto-attack with Bash... Yeah, this game is perfectly (un)balanced.
They will nerf everything to the ground outside the Gushing Wounds of course. And Barb will get 50% Polearms buff and new Aspect to pull in and do another 10%[x] dmg.
to be fair specifically for bash, the bash temper did get nerfed from orbit. but yeah i get your point.
great feedback raxxanterax as always from you. your founded arguments should blast blizzard away, like the butcher does me in low levels. thanks for your great support for all players. all should know, that you are really one of the most important persons for us, cause you can effectively change the opionion of the Diablo 4 Team , make them to do a lot of improvements to the game.
Super buggy PTR , classes feel nerfed because enemies are bugged to take next to no damage sometimes. The new endgame hoard mode is just not it. Also if 50 total aspects/ uniques combined is all we are getting I feel we are truly going “back to hell” for season 5
That's more than we get normally. Also, it's a PTR for a reason.. And this isn't the seasonal mechanic. Simply another activity. Wait another month for them to announce more details about the next season.
People are so quick to hate.
@@davidzimmerman617 that is more than we normally get for sure but it’s not enough imo. Would appreciate it if it wasn’t so buggy so that we could give accurate feedback on the PTR, the pit bosses are bugged to take no damage and then sometimes be one shot. Not to mention The 250 chest at the end of new Endgame Mode only drops 3 GA items and a scroll. They need to increase the mob density and amount of loot you get to make those 10 minutes feel interesting and worth it to grind the mode. I want to give positive feedback but this PTR season 5 preview seems to be a lot less exciting than season 4 so far. Fingers crossed that the devs get the right feedback and add additional content to season 5.
It’s a PTR, months before release. Were you expecting it to be perfect and ready for release? You’re supposed to be testing and giving feedback because they know it’s not done yet.
@@JB-qk5mn the PTR IS meant for testing haha. That’s exactly why they will be patching all the bugs today in order to get more accurate feedback. The one that is especially important is the damage not registering or completely one shorting everything. Not asking for perfect just asking for more effort and a better prepared PTR state for testing.
@@Jdiroe Why are you complaining about bugs in a PTR? That’s literally the entire purpose of letting players go in. Some things are going to be broken, it’s months from release. Just play s4 if you want to blast and farm loot.
Danke!
LOL I spent 370 mil…trying to get + to shroud on my rogue,didn’t get it 😂😂😂
ouch
I did some very sparse testing and it took me almost 100 rolls to get a +Skills on Amulet. It took another 100 rolls to get +Skills on Pants+Gloves. This isnt even considering if its the skill or passive you want either. The odds are terrible it seems 😭
Blizz: "this is working as intended"
Just read a post on reddit on a guy doing 327 rerolls for 1.3bn gold... this stuff is insane 🤣
That’s why you spend the capital on a piece with the roll. What you spend rerollinf affixes you could’ve probably afforded a piece that had the roll already. I got a dark shroud GA chest for 350m
This is a great analysis. I hope Blizzard listens to all this feedback and implements it over the next month. Thank you for testing and making things better for everyone.
infernal horses felt like from s3 designer
Those damn horses
🐴
It's honestly true. Druids are rough right now. I've tried the newly "buffed" landslide druid but it is actually still only a fraction of what it was with shepherd. They need to multiply druid damage by 50-100x to even keep them in the same league as barbarian.
The game needs an armory system, I am ok with expensive re-rolls.. I just hate having to re-roll even if its free as its very clunky. Having an armory to allow each player at least 3 pre-set specs is ideal IMO.
Thanks for this Raxx! As an xbox player this really helps see how they are setting up the game for future, and what I can expect.
I hate it, i can't clear pit 75 with pretty good gear with bunch of GA as sorc, i'm leaving the Game.
Great video raxx. I think what would help sorc is allowing us to have one more enchantment slots and allowing us to have three weapons. Two wands and a focus, a staff a wand and a focus. It's kind of obvious why Barb and Rogue are so good, and it's partly because Rogue has three weapon slots, and Barb has four. I also think Axial Conduit should just be a legendary aspect just like how gravitational is for BL, there needs to be more regular aspects that change skills in a fun way like gravitational that shouldn't be tied to uniques like Axial.
The main reason I've stopped playing S4 is because my stash is too full to effectively level more alts.
More please.
I love watching your videos on how you articulate the good and bad of whatever subject matter you're discussing. You do an excellent job of being objective and providing actual solutions that would be a massive W for both the playerbase and blizzard. Keep up the good work
I've been a D4 supporter since before launch. I've always defended it against the "D4 bad" stuff, but I haven't even played the PTR and I'm pretty disappointed with season 5. This new infernal whatever seems mind-numbingly boring. I don't even want to try it out once, so season 5 will be almost identical to season 4.
If only it was like S4. Helltides without mindcages is a huge step backwards.
@@SingWhileYouMay mindcages wont be available in S5?
I was the same as you in the beginning. But the truth is Blizzard actively scares people with talent and ideas away and replaces them with undergrads fresh out of university just so they can slash their salary in half. It is exploitation of their workers and their IP and if there was no resounding wave of "wow this game is baaaaad" Blizzard would think "wow what a succesfull strategy, lets replace all our creative execs for even bigger profit margins". Companies that dont respect their customers, their workers or even their IPs dont deserve to be defended blindly, because it only leads to more capitalist bullshit
@@gaborangeli3d They're seasonal for S4, unfortunately.
@@SingWhileYouMay shit man i thought thats going to stay. This is bad news indeed.
Thank you for your work and hopefully making the game more fun for us 🙏
I agree about rerolling costs. I tried rerolling two pieces of gear and I was down 40m gold before I even realized. Getting to 100, I only made 140m so you might imagine I was confused. I propose rerolling be capped at 1m gold.
Blew almost 500m and all my angel breaths on boots to get all resist. Never got it not even the lowest roll. Its a good boots and i just wanted to cap my resistance.
it's so crazy to sit back and watch the community help blizzard build their game.
It’s not just the gold cost in enchanting, what’s irritates me even more is the amount of angel dust I constantly blow through, pun intended
Funny how in theory you can run around with 1 Normal Elixir+ 1 Antivenin + 3 Types of Incense, but do that and youlll burn through 10k Angelbreath in one day. (not that anyone has that much lol)
Play the game more, trade less, only people with hundreas-billions of gold has this problem, sitting at 13K angelbreaths with minimum 8 masterwork on all gear.
@@proxmitikgamescongratulations, I play the game all the time and do not
I like that they have changed the anvil symbol on my gears tempered affixes, to small symbols corespondent to what group och tempering they are from. thumbs up for that little change, making it easier to remember where the tempered stat is coming from
5 waves of infernal hordes was painfully boring and the scroll bug made me not want to do it again.
20+ years just have to accept diablo doesn't know what end game is
@@PPG87It’s a PTR, months before release. They know it’s not done yet and are asking for feedback. Why are you acting like season 5 drops tomorrow?
@@JB-qk5mn as my comment clearly states the issue is with the franchise over 20 years.... what makes you think that my comment has anything to do with when season 5 comes out. It's a comment to state they do not know how to make enjoyable repayable challenging end game content given any amount of time.
@@vzwson4995 what’s your point? It’s still a PTR released unfinished in order to collect feedback. If you want everything to be running normally just play S4. The PTR literally exists as an early build to test on.
@@JB-qk5mn Sure the next beta will have fixed the issues... Guys relax its a month before release they'll fix it... Season 1 will fix the issues guys, come on just wait and see... Surely season 2 will fix the issues right? Omg guys did you hear, leaderboards are coming, and resists are finally gonna work!! Ohh wait nevermind, leaderboards delayed until the season is already dead, oops...
Saying something feels painfully boring and slow, or saying they don't know what endgame is, is feedback.. If its slow and boring, and doesn't feel like endgame content, maybe they need to spice it up, make it faster, make it more interesting, make it different than opening a cursed chest.
Very well said and productively explained. THIS CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED: Inserting a Rogue-like element more akin to current games (e.g. Hades, DRG, Vampire Survival etc...) would exponentially increase the replay allure. This would all of a sudden become the MAIN reason to play D IV, and would also create endless content for Blizzard to add new buffs/debuffs. i honestly and sincerely hope that they initiate this as it would be something that would keep D IV alive similar to how DII is still beloved to this day.
I woke up, played the Infernal Horde, felt like just copying from D3 or PoE monster waves, and went back to sleep. Then remember this is an ODD season, welp, that explained it. See you guys on S6 maybe.
Don't worry Raxx will save S5, send your complaints to him while he streams and he'll send it to blizzard 😂
The odd/even thing is a myth. That's not actually how they work.
@@Orion3T Maybe they don't, but if they only have really resources to add something important every other 6 months, they should just tell us, 1 season with important changes/1 season with minor additions.
Season 6 will be important because we get the expansion also, let's hope the theme will have some important things also.
Thanks for taking the time to make note of the annoying stuff- I hope Blizzard listens
The thing no one has said, which I think would be a great small addition to the game, is to add in vendors and stashes outside the dungeon. Just being able to leave dungeon sell and stash then reset the dungeon and back in is a small addition but great one imo
Longer/harder World Boss fights make no sense without a corresponding increase in better loot. Same with the 8 minute Infernal Hoards. Everyone just gravitates to wherever the biggest bang for the buck is.
Loot from world bosses is absolutely pathetic lol you get more loot from half a nightmare dungeon
Raxx hits it straight to the point! LEGEND
If they're not fixing tempering (they're not) then I don't want to play. Tempering is the endgame. Tempering/GAs is the chase. I could play the entire season and see only ONE relevant multi-GA item, and there's an extremely high chance it will brick. Tempering reset or no season 5.
They wouldn't even need to touch tempering if they included an option for players to trade effectively.
The items you need drop, just not for you. So all they need is either give us a little bit more control over the affixes in tempering, or let us trade in a crafted environment for it
Raxx is the PTR note master, thank the 🎉🎉🎉 for Raxx
yep. season 5 is a huge miss unfortunately. figured as much. Its really a shame. Looks like LE will be my go to until POE's new league comes out
2 weeks
Firstly it's just the PTR not the season, they have loads of time to change things and can probably address 95% of their feedback in at least some way, which as with S4 can add up to a massive improvement. Second they did say there will be actual seasonal content on top of what's in the PTR.
@@Orion3T This is true. Let's hope for the best
Raxx, I really hope Blizzard takes in your advice because players like you truly make games like D4 amazing. The ideas you presented in this video was top tier in terms of fun and excitement, ans that's exactly what the next few Seasons need! Great suggestions bro!🙏🏾
I really appreciate the work you put into your reviews for D4.
Raxx you are the only one from the streamers that you put so much work to do better the game.Keep up the good work and pls Raxx we need loadouts,loot filter,lfg system ,action house .And many more quality improvements .😊😊
I mean you are undefeated man I've never seen a streamer so for everybody when it comes to changes and ideas you literally think about every player to try to make the game better. I respect the shit out of that. Love your videos man. You are a amazing content creator.
You know what would be cool: some kind of infinity challenge, where you get ported into an arena with infinite waves to kill with rnd monster types on each wave and every 5th wave gives you rnd elites and every 10th wave is a pit boss/ uber boss + the difficulty ramps up consistently as you go up. Ofc with leaderboard to push for the highest and fastest waves possible then. Also rewards shoulds be adjusted correctly( not like in the pit, where it makes no real sense to go higher than 101, cuz the mat is not scaling consistently any more). Upvote this also, if you like the idea.
I agree with the compass part. It's so hard to find one. Felt like it was uber-unique.
Thank you for all your work blue man.
Hi Raxx,
Good stuff as always. I have some point from my view (no for s5 ptr stuff, but for s4 maybe worth to bring up now)
Im a "casual" player (not a dad, dont have dog to piss the floor🤣), but dont have much more time to play, on average 0-2 hour per day.
Im enjoying s4 now, but my concerns is on pit:
- i got way-way more material to open the pit, then i actually can do. currently i have mats for about 1700 pit run, but have no time do them
- materails (master work and stygina stone) feels low how much i get (i can farm 100-110 around 3 min run/top clear 120)
- 1st option, i think they should do: add an option to increase the rewards, like "spend 3x more rune to have x more material"
- 2nd option: reduce the number of rune shards you get, but increase rewad overall
1st should be better in mym opiniom
Raxx, you’re making history. Thank you buddy
Thank you Raxx, always being throughout and real
Spot on feedback! Seriously, they should just let you play test everything first and pay you for it. We won’t even need a ptr.
Btw, opened many mystery chests and living steel chests and didn’t find anything. Got a total of maybe 6 compass from 40+ chests (mostly small ones). And I also got one from ND after about 10 runs.
Hi Raxx, very relevent and exhaustive analysis as usual. I fully agree. The Odd /Even Season curse is still there lurking... ;)
Wow rax go hard on their interior design color of red. That's great😂
Honestly, the new purple weapon drop and noise is the greatest thing diablo has ever made. I can listen to it all day on loop lmfao
Great suggestions on the boon/bane choices, hopefully they will implement a couple of them. I definitely see the potential if they invest some time into the system.
LOL the Poggers Fish at mention of Tomb Lord
Hahahaha!!! 13:35 turn into a druid and do 17 damage!! This killed me hahaha. And then the side eye after LOL! Love it!
Thank you Raxx! Always enjoy the vids
I had a really good time with the Community in season 4. A lot were friendly, trading was good. I hope people keep communicating what they want to fix and not just oh game bad im not gonna play.
Thank you for your service to diablo
8:40. I just loved the mental image of papa Raxx sitting down to tell blizzard about the boons and the banes 😂
20 minute Raxx state of Diablo video....sign me up
At least you are a famous TH-camr and Blizzard will see this. Amazing info and things to do.
Nice analysis as usual rax 👍
Enchanting is for sure one of the biggest issues right now. The price of it needs to be nerfed into the ground and then capped at around 1mil at the most, otherwise, it's just another way to soft-brick items if they get too far into the reroll attempts.
On the infernal hordes: I really think the devs should just go play the popular roguelites and just copy the fun, crazy "powers" that you can get during runs in those games. Adapt them to fit D4 of course, but if you've never made a roguelite, go look at what works in them lol.
2:55 you have 8 stash tabs. Did I miss this but did they increase the amount for this next season? Or is this just for PTR?
Very good job Raxx. Thnx for this
